An empirical method to characterize displacement distribution functions for anomalous and transient diffusion
Le Qiao, Nicholas Ilow, Maxime Ignacio +1
We propose a practical empirical fitting function to characterize the non-Gaussian displacement distribution functions (DispD) often observed for heterogeneous diffusion problems.…
Capture and translocation of a rod-like molecule by a nanopore: orientation, charge distribution and hydrodynamics
Le Qiao, Gary W. Slater
We investigate the translocation of rods with different charge distributions using hybrid Langevin Dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann (LD-LB) simulations. Electrostatic interactions ar…
Ratcheting charged polymers through symmetric nanopores using pulsed fields: Designing a low pass filter for concentrating DNA
Le Qiao, Kai Szuttor, Christian Holm +1
We present a new concept for the separation of DNA molecules by contour length that combines a nanofluidic ratchet, nanopore translocation and pulsed fields. Using Langevin Dynamic…
Reducing the variance in the translocation times by pre-stretching the polymer
Hendrick W. de Haan, David Sean, Gary W. Slater
Langevin Dynamics simulations of polymer translocation are performed where the polymer is stretched via two opposing forces applied on the first and last monomer before and during…
Rotation-induced macromolecular spooling of DNA
Tyler N. Shendruk, David Sean, Daniel J. Berard +5
Genetic information is stored in a linear sequence of base-pairs; however, thermal fluctuations and complex DNA conformations such as folds and loops make it challenging to order g…
Electrophoretic Mobility of Polyelectrolytes within a Confining Well
Tyler N. Shendruk, Martin Bertrand, Gary W. Slater
We present a numerical study of polyelectrolytes electrophoresing in free solution while squeezed by an axisymmetric confinement force transverse to their net displacement. Hybrid…
